    "How come he don't want me?"- the one thing every child with an absentee dad asks themselves. Absolutely heartbreaking but the writing (and acting) were both spot on 😭

    I love that Uncle Phil stood there and let Will vent on him and only stepped in to comfort him when the time was right. That's a REAL father, right there 🥺

    Ben Vereen stated in an interview that he broke into tears himself after walking out the camera shot to leave Will. Vareen, a father himself, couldn't imagine doing that to his children.

    Years later, those acting skills earned him an Oscar. Well deserved.

    Uncle Phil was the father Will needed. He would make sure he was a disciplined individual, and whilst he would be angry and have a short fuse, he would never raise a hand at him, but when Will was genuinely in trouble or was upset, Phil would always be there to help him.

    Will's best performance was in this episode. Such an emotional scene. Gets me every time.

    "he may have been your father but he wasnt your daddy."

    Whenever I see this episode, it always gets me in tears.

    Every young boy forced to grow up without his father deserves an Uncle Phil. I just wish there were more to go around.

  • @raimeihakke1020

    When Will says "You too, Lou", Lou throws a subtle "damn". He knows he fucked up but he's too coward to stay or apologize, he runs away from the scene immediately.

    The way uncle Phil hugged Will when he said “how come he don’t want me man”, it’s like he was showing Will “Screw him, I want you”

    It's heartbreaking once you realize Will, behind all the goofiness and smiles was honestly a scared kid who had to learn to bounce back from difficult situations cause he really only had himself

    That's when James Avery (Uncle Phil) whispered in his ear and said "Now that's acting"

    Uncle Phil is the dad we all want but Lou is the dad most of us got.

    As a man that didn't have a father growing up, this gets me every time. They absolutely nailed the emotions in this scene

    This scene is absolutely heartbreaking. I remember when this episode aired. The moment a child faces the reality that his absentee father doesn't want him and will never be in his life. Fantastic acting by Will. His finest moment on television.

    "How come he don't want me man!?"

  • @officerrebar3839

    Will’s dad never left. Phil was there the entire time
